The purpose of this research is to develop a social marketing model for promoting well-informed and low-income middle-aged people’ participation in regular physical activity.
Methods
This study was a qualitative study with a grounded theory approach that was carried out in two stages. The first stage included recognizing the target audience’s view of participation in physical activity, and the second stage included determining the strategies for mixed social marketing and developing the research model. The statistical population of the first stage consisted of healthy individuals aged 45-64, and in the second stage, the statistical population included the relevant experts. Sampling was done purposefully and data were collected through 3 focus groups and 18 semi-structured interviews. For data analysis, three-step coding method was used and data validity was evaluated using standard methods.
Results
After identifying the internal and external barriers and facilitators of participating well-informed and low-income middle-aged people in physical activity, mixed social marketing strategies including product, place, promotion, and price strategies were determined and the final model was developed.
